Mitosis is a process of cell division that results in two daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Therefore, at the end of mitosis, each G₁ daughter cell has identical DNA to that of the G₁ parent cell. The cytoplasm of the daughter cells is also divided equally between them, but it is not necessarily half the amount of the parent cell as cells can also grow during G₁ phase before entering mitosis.
